No electrical power
Hi all.........I was wondering if anyone can help ! Whilst investigating a fault with my fuel gauge I accidentally shorted a terminal on the gauge.Now have no power at fuse board and only the motor starts and tilts.....have checked the fuses and cannot find any blown ones. Anyone have any ideas ?

Is the power to all the boat systems fed through the positive in the engine starter?

Finding out where the power feed is, will be your first step

Some boats are connected to a fusible link in the motor. It is a short piece of wire of thinner gauge. If you shorted it, it needs to be replaced.

Power feed must come from engine as isolator kills all !
